The shifts are 10am - 2pm or 2pm - 6pm daily. We are open later for special events. On the first and third Saturday of each month we are open late for the Wine Walk, so the shifts those days are 10 - 3pm or 3 - 8pm. You agree to help in the operation of the enterprise by joining at least one active committee and participating in that committee’s work.
